Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Chapter 182: Proper Use of Pure-Blood Nobles

Finally, the whole company unanimously agreed to make his team a special project team. Those who were not familiar with him would quietly return to their original departments after working with him once. He is a great person, but it is really tiring to work with him all the time. It is okay to work with him occasionally, but it is unbearable to work with him frequently. Sometimes I suggest that those excellent people stay in his team, but they laugh and quickly refuse. No one stays. I thought there would always be some weirdos willing to stay, but in the end there were no ones. Although he is outstanding in work ability, his requirements are too high and the mental pressure is so great that it is unbearable.

Before each project started, I would hold a "user briefing" for him. I would remind everyone that although he was demanding, perfectionist, and had some personality issues, he was not a bad person. I also suggested that if the work was not going well, they should report to me in time. After the project was over, I would hold a celebration party for everyone, but without him. Everyone was often moved to tears because of the relief. Many people felt that their boss, who they had originally hated, was simply too good compared to him, and returned to their original departments to work hard. While I was taking good care of him, my reputation rose again.

Dumbledore should have accepted the position at the Ministry of Magic. I don't know why he didn't.

I don't know what position he was recommended for. If he worked under someone else like I did in my previous life, his achievements would earn him a higher evaluation from his superiors. He might hate this situation, right? Moreover, as the headmaster, he already holds the highest position, but if he works in the Ministry of Magic, unless he is the Minister, there will be people who are higher than him, which is probably what he doesn't like. He thinks he is the best, so he might not want to be inferior to someone worse than himself.

However, even so, he doesn't look like someone who can handle a role like Minister. In fact, if he becomes Minister, he'll probably lose his position soon. He seems to be good at research, but not so good at handling affairs. However, if he can get a special position to reform the wizarding world, maybe the result won't be too bad?

However, that old man doesn't look like someone who would actively publicize his achievements. He seems to like being praised by people around him, but he is reluctant to actively brag about his achievements. This makes it easy for others to take credit. However, at times like this, he should be good at using the power of his subordinates. By the way, the head of the special department always brags, actively accepts interviews, and constantly publicizes his achievements. Moreover, he continues to slander me inside and outside. As a result, my reputation has been improved. The more he brags, the more others think that I am a weirdo who can control such a difficult person and can laugh off his insults, thinking that I am very tolerant.

But I never took the initiative to take his credit as my own. I always praised him for being great, maybe that's why he behaved obediently under me. He would fly into a rage when I heard someone criticize me. He covered up for me so many times, maybe he felt that it was natural for him to be under me. Because he slandered me everywhere, rival companies often wanted to poach him, but he never agreed. He also often said, "You should be grateful to me!" I usually just responded perfunctorily. For Dumbledore, maybe he didn't have an existence like I did for that person. He was a lonely person. Although he had many subordinates, he never really established a reliable partner, which made me feel very strange. I never understood that old man.

People around him may think that greedy wizards are taking all the credit, which may be true. But he also has many followers or subordinates who are willing to contribute, so why not use them? If he lets them make achievements, it will also improve his own evaluation. But he seems to want to do everything by himself. Isn't this unrealistic? He overestimates himself. Maybe he is blinded by the sense of omnipotence. Because of magic, wizards are more likely to lose themselves than Muggles.

Since he broke up with Grindelwald, who he thought could work with him to change the wizarding world, perhaps he could no longer trust anyone. In fact, he could have cultivated such a person in Hogwarts, but he had already failed in cultivating Tom. As an educator, he was an unqualified teacher. And I even doubt whether he really has the intention to cultivate talents.

By the way, the man who always scolded me, although he always slandered me, quit when I resigned. After he resigned, he still often came to my house to play. In fact, he often stayed at my house when he was working. He got married three times, but they all broke up in a very short time. Even so, he often stayed at my house, and even sat in the family seat when I got married with a thick face; when my child was born, he ran to the hospital without permission; even when my parents died, he sat in the family seat as if nothing had happened. He was always by my side, but he kept scolding me until he died.

When he died and I contacted his family to arrange the funeral, his children were surprised to ask, "Isn't he a relative of yours?" Because he always stayed at my house, even my children thought he was a relative. I told the children that he was just a colleague at the company and a completely unrelated person, and they were shocked. Yes, this person has been in my house since they can remember, and my wife and grandparents ignored his insults and found them funny. He was always there, and even my children didn't ask who he was. Looking back now, my wife is really broad-minded. Maybe because he often came to my house before we got married, she didn't doubt it too much. In addition, she grew up in an orphanage, so she might be more accepting of "family" who are not related by blood.

His family thanked us for our care over the years and even left my children a substantial sum from his vast estate.

Despite this, he is very serious about his work. He really wants to contribute to the company, and there is no doubt about his intention. Especially after joining the special department, he has made great contributions. He knows that he is not suitable for leading a large group of subordinates, so although he likes his work, he gave up his ambition to pursue promotion after entering the special department. Although his desire for self-display is strong, his love for the company is real. He clearly knows that even if he becomes the leader of the company, it may not be beneficial to the company. It seems that he is not stupid.

Although Dumbledore focused on his personal research, he did not complete the work he was supposed to do. He was suitable for research, but not for management. Therefore, he should have continued to stay in the field of teaching and research. However, people in the magic world forced him to do the job that was most unsuitable for him. Perhaps because he thought he was excellent, he could not accept that he had no ability to lead others. The result led to the current situation. His position as headmaster was the beginning of misfortune for himself and everyone else.

He really doesn't delegate much, and although he sets up situations, he never gives clear instructions or explains his intentions. He is always ambiguous and doesn't give clear directions, so he is not suitable to be a leader. Perhaps his vague words are to avoid the pure-blood nobles from getting a hold of him.

After all, if those pure-blood nobles really wanted to make a difference, the wizarding world might change very quickly, but they did nothing. So he probably felt that he couldn't count on them. Those nobles only cared about what was good for their own family and never considered the overall progress. Moreover, they always found fault with him and tried to bring him down.

Dumbledore, the pure-blood nobles, and other wizards have all shirked their responsibilities, and ultimately created a wizarding world where no one is responsible. Who is responsible for this? Everyone is responsible. But in order to change the wizarding world, there must be a scapegoat. Unfortunately, that scapegoat can only be Dumbledore, who is the biggest obstacle to future reforms.

My colleagues in my previous life were not doing their job well, were distracted, and clearly failed, which was a good thing. But Dumbledore seemed to have handled it well on the surface, and that was the problem. He covered it up so well that he never made a big mistake. If he had a big failure, people might realize that Dumbledore was also a mortal, and he might have relied more on others. He presented himself as much greater than he actually was, which led to the current situation.

Originally, the wizarding world has always relied on those who seem to be excellent. Therefore, Dumbledore took on too much responsibility.

He is indeed a person who is very eager to respond to the expectations of others, and this intention is genuine.

Everyone relied too much on him and pushed all the responsibilities onto him, which should have been shared by everyone. Everyone should have seriously considered the future of the wizarding world. But because the education system at Hogwarts did not foster this awareness, the current situation was eventually created. In the end, everything was due to one's own fault.

Moreover, because he is a great magic user, he may not be able to say "I can't do anything anymore". His self-esteem is higher than anyone else in the magic world, so he can't say that he can't do it. Moreover, it is precisely because everyone relies on Dumbledore that Dumbledore feels that he can't rely on the people around him... There is undoubtedly a structural problem. The magic world has always been too lax to hand things over to someone without doing any checks. Everyone is like this.

Although I have never met Dumbledore in person and cannot judge what kind of person he is, I think he may not be good at pushing things forward smoothly. He is good at cleverly using other people's emotions, but he omits the step of explaining to the people being used, so things take a lot of detours. And his ultimate goal is only to defeat the dark forces, which cannot promote the prosperity of the wizarding world.

After all, he is essentially a researcher, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Therefore, after defeating the darkness, he had no clear vision of what to do next. The headmaster should have focused only on the training of students, which was enough, but he had too many things to do and had no time to think. Or rather, he would rather use his free time for research than think about these problems. So he tried to avoid doing work like school management that was time-consuming and laborious but not recognized by others. Besides, there were no rules to constrain him, and lax management was not illegal. From Dumbledore's point of view, he might feel that he had done the minimum work. Even now, he might not understand why he was criticized so much for his management of Hogwarts.

His personal research results are regularly published and highly regarded, so in terms of wizards' evaluation, he is undoubtedly the leading wizard in Britain. It is precisely because of these achievements that he was chosen as the headmaster. For him, this is the real job. So he puts his heart into it. This has undoubtedly made a great contribution to the wizarding world. In fact, until recently, many people in the wizarding world thought very highly of his achievements in these areas. As for management, there is no clear definition of who is responsible for it. Dumbledore just puts his energy into the areas where he is recognized by everyone.

At first, I thought he was just an old man with a strong sense of vanity who wanted to maintain a great image, but after meeting him in person, I didn't feel such a strong sense of vanity. Although it cannot be denied that he has this tendency, he is not the kind of person who is full of selfishness and greed. I think this is why everyone is willing to follow him. His dedication to the wizarding world must be genuine. However, he has never described the future of the wizarding world.

After all, he was a researcher, and his mind was full of his research. Many researchers are like this.

However, he really doesn't like pure-blood nobles. In his mind, letting pure-blood nobles continue to control the core of the wizarding world is a kind of evil. He could have made better use of pure-blood nobles, but he is not good at it. Although he is good at using all kinds of people, he doesn't use pure-blood nobles correctly. It even makes people feel that he wants to destroy them. For example, Sirius, he could have made good use of Sirius instead of putting him in Azkaban. There are not many people as useful as Sirius, right? He could have brought a lot of benefits to the wizarding world. However, perhaps because doing so would not bring merit to Dumbledore, he was unwilling to do it.

I always feel that Dumbledore is a bit jealous?

He hates people who are better than him. Whether it's Tom, Sirius, or James, they are all the same. In my previous life, I also knew someone who kept scolding people who were better than him, but he only scolded, never dragged others down, and never framed others... He was very clean in this regard. And he was the kind of person who worked harder and encouraged himself to do better work in order not to lose to others.

Oops... Dumbledore seems to have bigger problems than the one I knew in my past life...
